Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had the best response to the COVID-19 pandemic, while New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had the worst, said respondents in a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
In the poll of registered voters, 22% said DeSantis had the "most effective response to COVID-19," while 28% said Cuomo had the worst. Just 19% of voters, meanwhile, said DeSantis, a Republican, had the worst response, while only 15% said Cuomo's was the best.
